Yayoi Kusama creates a large-scale mosaic for New York’s Grand Central Madison terminal

Yayoi Kusama and Kiki Smith will create floor-to-ceiling mosaics for the underground Long Island Rail Road terminal opening in December.

 

As reported by Ted Loos for The New York Times, ‘the terminal will be an underground gallery of sorts, featuring enormous mosaics by two female artists with strong New York City connections’.
